Dept. Of Homeland Security Chooses Groove, P2P

Posted by timothy on Monday March 15, 2004 @03:52PM from the but-can-anyone-think-of-legitimate-uses-for-p2p dept.

Ryan Barrett writes "Groove Networks has announced that their P2P infrastructure will power the Homeland Security Information Network, an initiative to increase information sharing between federal, state, and local intelligence agencies. (The initiative doesn't give the govt. more information, it just helps agencies better share the information they already have.) Groove Workspace has also been certified with two govt. security standards, FIPS 140-2 level 1 and NIAP CCITSE. In related news, Groove's developers have been diagnosed with acronym whiplash."

Many of you may know the founder of Groove (Ray Ozzie) as the guy who created Lotus Notes.

Just showing that he's been in the spotlight before, it's not some random Joe who's suddenly found his product approved for Government use.
